Biogeography of Australian Camphorosmeae and Diversification in Climatic Space and Across Arid Habitat Types.

This study investigates the biogeography of the Australian Camphorosmeae (Amaranthaceae ) lineage and how it relates to shifts in climatic niche and habitat types. Building on previous research and data resources, we integrate molecular phylogenetics, bioclimatic data and biogeographical models to deepen our understanding of the diversification and adaptation of this group across Australia's diverse landscapes in relation to palaeoclimatic changes. For 159 species representing 12 genera, georeferenced distribution points were used to define the most informative bioclimatic variables using principal component analysis.

Global distribution, climatic preferences and photosynthesis-related traits of C eudicots and how they differ from those of C grasses.

C₄ is one of three known photosynthetic processes of carbon fixation in flowering plants. It evolved independently more than 61 times in multiple angiosperm lineages and consists of a series of anatomical and biochemical modifications to the ancestral C pathway increasing plant productivity under warm and light-rich conditions. The C lineages of eudicots belong to seven orders and 15 families, are phylogenetically less constrained than those of monocots and entail an enormous structural and ecological diversity.

Long-term follow-up of chronic anal fissure (CAF) on diltiazem 2% using a telephone questionnaire. Do results change?

Introduction: Calcium channel blockers have an excellent effectiveness in the conservative management of chronic anal fissure (CAF).

Objectives: To assess the long-term results of management with diltiazem 2% ointment using a telephone questionnaire.

Methods: A descriptive, retrospective study from March 2004 to March 2011 in patients with CAF on diltiazem 2%, 3 applications daily for 4-6 weeks.

[Systemic mastocytosis with skin manifestation versus indolent mastocytosis].

We have analyzed the clinical, analytical, radiologic, therapeutic an evolutive of cases of systemic mastocytosis (SM) skin lesions. The diagnostic of MS is difficult in the absence of skin lesions.
